Here’s a good one submitted to me from “Personal Capital” – What is the candidate’s net worth? Executive Summary: The 2016 presidential primaries are ramping up, and with those races come a slew of public awareness events aimed at positioning each candidate in the best spot to win their party’s nomination. As Americans begin to […]
from Newsmax, some of my fellow South Dakota AFP attendees were mentioned in a new story today on whether they like Trump: A group of college students in a Republican club at Augustana College in South Dakota felt he was too much of a bully. “He’s mocking it with his presence,” said Cara Beck, 20, […]
Giving up on the convention chairs for a moment, as my cell phone was needing the attention of a power source, I exited the breakout session I was hanging out in regarding LTE’s and Talk Radio, and wanted to go exploring, I passed by the Microsoft XBOX ONE lounge, as I’m afraid I’d enjoy that […]
On September 16, CNN will host the second major GOP Presidential Debate at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library hosted by Nancy Reagan. Similar to the debates on Fox, there will be a “prime-time” debate consisting of the “top 10” candidates and an “under-card” debate consisting of the remaining candidates who are polling above 1%. Seems […]
Our friends at the Brown County Republicans had a booth at the Brown County fair this past week, and did a little straw polling to determine fair attendees’ favorite candidate for president. And I think we’ve determined that a lot of people watch TV. Donald Trump came in first, which I’ve heard is possibly […]
I don’t go looking for this stuff, but like many of us, for me sometimes crazy just pops up in my facebook feed. Today’s cognitive dissonance has us swinging wildly from complaints from Lora Hubbel’s (very proper) removal from precinct office when she decided to run as a candidate on a ticket against the Republican […]
Update: Nate Silver reached nearly the same conclusions as mine but a lot less deep. I think he and everyone else is missing the “profile” concentration issue (non-politicos, Senators, Governros). http://fivethirtyeight.com/datalab/the-post-debate-losers-walker-and-winners-fiorina/ I want to stress the GOP primary is extremely fluid. This morning at a regular breakfast, while there were current favorites among everyone there, […]
Update: 8-11-15 @ noon: Another Iowa caucus poll was just released and was in the field one day longer which showed an expected result- The reaction from the debate appears to be confirming as discussed in the original post but the reactions are more muted and Rubio should be listed as a “winner.” Further, the “Bubble” I […]
Every once in a while, I have to look at stuff I know to be absolutely off the wall nutty. It’s probably a lot like people driving by a car accident or storm damage, where you want just enough information to go “wow, that’s really bad.” Well, I did it again. I got my fix […]
Well, it’s all said and done. The first GOP debate is over. Who, in your mind, won the debate? Personally, I think you can stick a fork in Donald Trump. He’s done. If he wasn’t proving himself to be a candidate who was all about is own ego, he was showing his unelectability as he attacked […]
